There are several ways to managed “delimiters” in Emacs. This often mean parentheses when talking about Lisp code, but I guess this could mean quotes too.
Redux has a pretty good post here:
Removing Paired Delimiters in Emacs | Emacs Redux
He’s basically describing paredit and smartaparens. I have smartparens turns off in Emacs Prelude because I find it fucks around with my editing too much. I really need to look into how to use the package.
The redux guy has actually stopped using smartparens, considering it too heavy.
